Free Varna Tour starts this Friday!

If you’re tired of Sofia, if you want to see the sea coast and meet the “sea capital” of Bulgaria – don’t miss the chance to be one of the first guests of Free Varna Tour! The Free English-language sightseeing walking tour of Varna is the newest project of our Association. It will start this Friday (two days before the Orthodox Easter), and will run at 11AM and 6PM. No reservation are required, just show up at the meeting point – the Cathedral. Here you can learn how to get to Varna.

The primary objective of Free Varna Tour is to make every foreigner feel welcome in Varna

And ignite their interest in such a way so that they want to come back and recommend it to others. We are young and passionate about what we do and we constantly strive to make each tour personal, fun, informative, helpful and tailored for each visitor’s individual needs. The tours will be run by locals with various interests, experience and perspectives.

The Roman Baths

The tour will go through the main attractions in Varna – like the Cathedral, the Opera House, the Roman Baths, the Sea Garden and will tell stories about some monuments and museums. It will also reveal valuable information about the culture and the atmosphere in Varna and will help you discover what is to feel like living just next to the Black Sea. With this project we want to challenge the current image of Varna – a perfect city for all-inclusive packages, nice beaches and good bars with cheap alcohol. We want to show all guests of Varna that our city has much more to offer and can be put next to all other European cities and their walking tours.

The fatalists among you will notice it – the starting day is Friday the 13th!

However, the whole team of Free Sofia Tour Association agreed on this date. Why? Our first project started on another Friday the 13th – in August 2010 🙂 20 months later we are more than convinced, that this date brought us good luck.

My partner and I went on the 2 hour bike tour with Lucy who was very knowledgable and gave us a great tour around Sofia. This is a fantastic introduction to Sofia and the guides are happy to help you out with any other questions such as recommendations for dinner, or other places to visit in Bulgaria. The next day we completed the hiking tour in Sofia. We caught a cab which our guide organised (9 leva for one way trip) and began our walk up the mountain. It is a steep climb and you do need to have a good level of fitness to complete this-it is quite steep and rocky so good footwear is essential. Our guide was helpful and friendly and the Boyana waterfall at the top was stunning. After our descent down we visited the Boyana church which was great-you do feel very tired after the trek but the church is worth it (and free after 3pm on a Monday, otherwise 2 leva entrance fee).

A lovely experience! Very interesting and wonderful to learn new things about the city. Considering it is even free of charge, what else could anyone want? Definitely recommend it to anyone going to Sofia!!! 23.07.2015

The tour takes you to the main monuments/attractions in the city center with very enthusiastic guides. You get good explanations and historical facts from the places you visit. I went on a Saturday morning, there were a lot of people and the guides were well prepared. We were divided in 3 groups of around 20 people. The tour ends at the University after a bit more of two hours walking. A very good way to get to know Sofia 02.08.2014
